I have having troubles getting my 644 New Holland round baler to tie a bale. First problem was getting it to leave a long enough pigtail hanging out of the twine tubes. I discovered that this was happening because the twine tubes that are supposed to fold up and out of the way after wrapping a bale are not folding up all the way which causes it to not pull enough twine out to leave a long pigtail. I am getting out of the tractor to manually push the twine into the bale so that it will wrap. I have been fighting this a long time with very little noticable effect. I did adjust the arm that controls the twine tubes to maximum length, this helped a bit but not much.
Now the problem is even worse, the twine tubes don't even go up that far anymore, now they don't even go up far enough to even cut the twine. I find myself getting off of the tractor after tieing a bale to cut the twine. These twine arms need to go up at least another 6 inches or more than they are. It seems like a timing issue. The tieing indicator (that shows the process of tieing) on the front of the baler is off too. Its like a chain jumped a gear or something. Any ideas of things to look at? I'm about ready to take this into a dealer, but can't imagine what it would cost or how long it would take them to get to it. Any helpful advice or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
